Automatic binder extraction unit

Used to perform reliable analysis on bituminous mixtures utilizing the perchloroethylene (PCE) or tetrachloroethylene solvent which is classified: R40 (not cancer producing*), for quantitative determination of binder or bitumen contained in pavement samples and hot mixed mixtures.

The system performs in only one complete automatic cycle:
-The washing, disaggregation and separation of the bituminous mixture
-The separation of the filler from the solution formed by solvent, bitumen and filler
-The recovery and distillation of solvent material allowing a further utilization

The unit comprises:
-An electromagnetic sieving unit, insuring high quality
-double vibrating action (vertical/rotational), with solvent
-spraying cover for washing and disaggregation of the sample.
-A continuous flow filterless centrifuge having rotation
-speed of 11000 rpm equipped with a stainless steel beaker
-Ø120 mm, filler capacity approx. 400 g.
-A solvent recovery unit having reclaiming capacity of 50 l/h,
-equipped with cooling system switching ON and OFF the
-unit to automatically perform the test.
-A separate control panel allows to program all these
-functions in a fully automatic system. It is also possible
-to select the manual control.

This unit is supplied with:
-Two stainless steel beakers Ø120 mm
-Four stainless steel sieves Ø200 mm openings:
-0,063 – 0,250 – 0,800 – 2 mm
-Sieve Frame only Ø200 mm to improve the capacity of the first sieve
-Set of O-ring gaskets for sieves
